Abstract

A 74-year-old woman with a history of smoking, hyperlipidaemia and transient ischaemic attack (TIA) presented to the emergency department with sudden onset of right upper limb (RUL) weakness and sensory disturbance. Clinical examination was notable for reduced RUL sensation. Laboratory testing was unremarkable, aside from a mixed pattern of liver enzyme derangement, with preserved synthetic function. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed multifocal infarcts in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) and right posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) territories.
